GeeS
think back to when the Monkees were riding high in the charts with such great songs as 'Daydream Believer' and 'Last Train to Clarksville' and how the world seemed less complicated and more focussed on serious issues as opposed to Tik Tok or Instagram and if we don't think we've lost something we're crazy...but if we think it's coming back anytime soon then we are complete fools...ok, Christmas salutations from myself, Jill, Louie the wonder dog and cha-cha the kitty kat, everyone else has left us now, lol - empty nesters...haha!
can you still recall in the juke box hall when the music played
and the world spun round to a brand new sound in those far off days..
in their blue suede shoes they would scream and shout
as they sang the blues, let it all hang out..
rock and roll...
